How would you classify your parents’ child-rearing styles? Be sure to provide some factors that might have influenced their approach to child rearing?

Should students with learning disabilities be entitled to academic accommodations? If so, what accommodations should students with learning disabilities have right to? Should such accommodations be made at all levels of education (i.e., elementary school, secondary school, college and university)? Would granting accommodations to students with learning disabilities be unfair to students without learning disabilities?

Generally, schools in the United States are organized around four goals: Academic, Civic, Personal, and Vocational. The academic goals are the knowledge and curriculum that we expect students to learn in school (English, math, science, etc). With the civic goals we want our students to learn about the American system of government and to learn the skills and attitudes to become informed citizens (courses such as American government, social studies, political science). The personal goals help our students with issues such as development of personal talents (think music, drama, athletics, etc.), life skills (maintaining a bank account, economics, consumer information) and health (PE, health classes, biology). In the vocational goals, students learn skills and knowledge which will make them productive in the workplace; able to leave school and to participate in the job market.

Question: Based on this information, which goal or goals do you think are most important for our schools. Which goals should American schools concentrate on? Explain your answers.

As you move on from this course to PSY 301: Research Methods, there are two skills that will be critical to your success: (1) the ability to choose the appropriate statistical test for a given research study and (2) the ability to communicate the results of a statistical test clearly, concisely, and completely. Your textbook has two great resources to help with both of these: Appendix E and Appendix F. Review these appendices before completing Question Sets 3 and 4.

A. An academic adviser wants to know if the mean score on a new academic readiness measure is greater than 80 points for all Ecampus students. Scores on the academic readiness measure are interval-level. They give the survey to a representative sample of 50 Ecampus students. What statistical test should they use to address their research question? Explain why.

B. Researchers are replicating Albert Bandura’s famous Bobo Doll Experiment. They have three groups of children: the first group is exposed to adults showing aggressive behaviors towards Bobo, the second group is exposed to adults playing with Bobo non-aggressively, and the third group is a control that is not exposed to anything. Aggressive behaviors are measured using an interval-level scale after the intervention. What statistical test should they use to determine if there is evidence that the mean aggressive behaviors scores are different between the three groups? Explain why.

C. A statistics instructor wants to know if there is a positive relationship between their students’ scores on a measure of statistics anxiety and their final grades in the course. Both statistics anxiety and final course grades were measured quantitatively (i.e., interval-/ratio-level). What statistical test should they use to address their research question? Explain why.

Question 2 In each of the following situations, identify the scale(s) of measurement that is appropriate for each situation.

(i) A visiting school inspector asked a class teacher to rank the thirty students in her class on “level of discipline”, with 1 standing for the least disciplined student and 30 standing for the most disciplined student

. (ii) Identical twins living in different environments are being compared to find out the influence of the environment on their academic performance. A standard test on academic performance is giving to fifty (50) sets of identical twins and their performance graded over 100.

(iii) “Regular” students and students admitted under the distance learning programme into Accra Institute of Technology are administrated a questionnaire measuring “level of maturity” of the students, with scores on “level of maturity” ranging from 0 to 1

(iv) One thousand students in a statistics class are asked to rate their lecturer on teaching effectiveness at the end of the semester, where rating scores on teaching effectiveness can possibly range between 10 and 50.

(v) A relationship is to be established between “Campus of Study” and “Academic Performance” among Accra Institute of Technology students at KCC campus and Seaview campus based on their final grade point average (FGPA), classified as “Good” (FGPA of 3.2 or better), “Average” (FGPA of 2.5 to 3.19) or “Poor” (FGPA below 2.5). Five hundred (500) and 100 students are sampled from KCC campus and Seaview campus respectively. Out of the 500 students sampled from KCC campus, 200 were classified as “Good” as “Average” and the rest as “Poor”. Out of the 100 students sampled from Seaview campus, 30 were classified as “Good”, 40 as “Average”, and the rest as “Poor”.

Suppose you work for a small company that produces and sells gourmet pierogi-flavored cookies (yum?) called Babushkies in Northwest Indiana. Your boss has never really paid any attention to the demand for your product before, and one day she asks you to conduct a quantitative demand analysis for Babushkies. She provides you with yearly data from 2000 and 2019 on factors that may be important in the demand for Babushkies, including the price (Px ) and number of Babushkies sold (Qx) , the price of a related good (Py) and the average annual income for Northwest Indiana (M ).

The following steps walk you through the process of conducting a quantitative demand analysis:

1. Estimate a demand function using a regression. Download the provided Problem Set 3 data file (PS3-Data.csv) and use it to estimate the following linear demand function using the regression tool (under Data Analysis) in Excel:

Qxd=α0+αXPx+αyPy+αMM

What is the estimated demand function (you can round estimated coefficients to two significant decimals)? Write this out clearly. Include a copy of your regression output from Excel.

The general fund budget (in billions of dollars) for a U.S. state for 1988 (period 1) to 2011 (period 24) follows.

Develop a linear trend equation for this time series to forecast the budget (in billions of dollars). (Round your numerical values to three decimal places.)

T_t =

(c)What is the forecast (in billions of dollars) for period 25? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

$    billion

A certain company produces and sells frozen pizzas to public schools throughout the eastern United States. Using a very aggressive marketing strategy, they have been able to increase their annual revenue by approximately $10 million over the past 10 years. But increased competition has slowed their growth rate in the past few years. The annual revenue, in millions of dollars, for the previous 10 years is shown.

(b) Using Minitab or Excel, develop a quadratic trend equation that can be used to forecast revenue (in millions of dollars). (Round your numerical values to three decimal places.)

T_t =

(c) Using the trend equation developed in part (b), forecast revenue (in millions of dollars) in year 11. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

$  million
